Site work for a water / sewer project in Sonoma, California. Conceptual plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

Currently, the City uses mechanical meters, which are read once a month using a drive-by automatic meter reading system. The objectives for replacing the existing hybrid-mechanical system with Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) are to: cost-effectively enhance customer service, improve water savings, and provide near real-time water usage data to the City's water customers. AMI would improve water system operations and provide faster leak detection throughout the water distribution system. An initial feasibility assessment and draft Request for Proposals has been developed. The AMI project needs longterm City water staff to be successful. After completion of the Water Supervisor recruitment process, the AMI project can move forward. This project is included in the City of Sonoma's FY 2023-2028 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). As of January 24, 2024, information regarding a design team or a general contractor is not available. Construction is anticipated in 2024/2025.* *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
